The Importance of a Revolutionary Organization in Anarchist Communism

Anarchist communism is a living working class tradition, but it can be difficult to keep alive during times of defeat and division. A revolutionary organization can help to preserve and spread the memory and lessons of previous struggles, and it can also support committed but potentially isolated militants in day-to-day struggles.

Here are some of the things that a revolutionary organization can do to help preserve and spread the memory and lessons of previous struggles:

• Produce leaflets and pamphlets
• Organize meetings and education
• Build national and international contacts

Here are some of the ways that a revolutionary organization can support committed but potentially isolated militants in day-to-day struggles:

• Push for direct action and self-organization
• Resist takeover and co-option by authoritarian groups
• Provide access to the experiences of comrades

By carrying out these activities, a revolutionary organization can help to build a culture of resistance and solidarity that can eventually lead to the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a free and egalitarian society.
